How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 79 = 18.96
- Check: Work backwards: 18.96 ÷ 79 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/79, so part = 24 × 79 ÷ 100 = 18.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*79. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means

Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 79 by 24% gives 97.96 and decreasing it by 24% gives 60.04. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 74.4496, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
